Chapter 96

Fiona’s POV

Fiona retired to bed for the night, and it did not take longer than three minutes to fall asleep, despite Julian being in her living room and her couch covered in his blood.

She smiled and rubbed her head as a slight headache set in. “You are a man of your word. And no, you didn’t wake me up; good morning.”

“I hope it isn’t too early.”

She shook her head. “No, it isn’t too early. How are you and your
